Liberty Ciderworks is the Apple of Spokane’s Eye

Edible Inland NW

I see Jamie Pratt, co-owner of Spokane’s Liberty Ciderworks, multiple times a week at various farmers markets. We always greet each other with an enthusiastic “Hi Jamie!” which inevitably leads to giggling, as we both find it a bit humorous saying our own names in salutation.

What I didn’t know from our market meetings is that Pratt is a rockstar in the national cider community.

About a decade ago, Rick Hastings was making beer as a hobbyist brewer.

Rick’s brother and sister-in-law are both unable to consume gluten because of Celiac’s disease. When they visited Rick and his wife Charlotte, they searched for ciders as an alternative option for their traditional beer and pizza nights. Rick then began dabbling in brewing cider, learning more about it through cider tasting adventures.
